CROSS CONTINENT CHAT.

Only he who makes a journey from
coast to coast or from the Canadian line
to the Rio Grande border has an ade-
quata idea Of the wonderful extent, the
varied resources and the bounding
progress of this land OF liberty. But a
trip Of even half the distance, say from
st. Paul to San Francisco. along any
one of the tranS-continental roads. is
sufficiently prolific in new and strik-
ing scenes, in diversity of scenery and
climate TO confirm the impression which
OF course every patriotic American
possesses that this is the greatest coun-
try upon which the sun ever Sh0ne.
~
Pass through the granary of the world.
for instance, the almost lmitless wheat
fields Of fertile Dakota, and there you
will obtain some idea of the rushing
river of immigration that is pouring
into the Northwest. Thriving little
towns dot the plain, and the humble
claim shanty of the sturdy homestead
er is seen to be placed with almost
mathematical regularity upyn each
quarter section-l60 acres Of as fertile
which in this country was had and may
yet be had almost for the asking, better
than that which on the other side OF the
water the simple workman might
labor Oh hundred years with
out the hope of possessing. And
it is very desirable class of
settlers, too, thus filling up the land
of the Dacotahs. They are people whose
energy and intelligence would make
them valued citizens everywhere, and
they are people who, as evinced by their
works, regard the school house and the
church as better civilizing factors than
the jail. They believe in progress of
the mind as well as advancement in ma
terial welfare, and they demonstrate very
Strikingly that in Dakota, at least, the
tillerS of the soil can acquire both.
1t had been thought tIat only on the
eastern side of the Missouri river could
good farming land be obtained, and it
was natural enough that so long as the
proved land near the market on the
eastern side could be secured, immigra-
| grafton would refrain from crossing the
| river. But now that the greater
portion of the territory on this
side of the river has been settled, and
late Corners have perforce been obliged
to cross the Missouri, it has been dis
covered that the land in that region is
also de sirable, and the claim shanties
are i'll consequence, springing up like
magic. Uncle Sam may not now be
able to give every one a farm, but he
can get pretty well around the circle
and then have few million acres left
for the original settlers, the only people
whose squatter's right to the country
has been recognized by the government
to have the validity of regular title
the more or less noble, though generally
ignOble red men.

It's very different character of coun-
try that Montana presents, however, to
her Eastern neighbors. Beginning with
the Bad Lands on the east, stretching
out to the beautiful Yellowstone valley
with its rolling prairie and high table
lands in the center and extending to the
majestic and imposing mountains on the
west, Snow-capped and treasure in.

On the Blackfoot, Fort Hall and
Soda Springs road, four miles east of
town there is, at the bridge over
Blackfoot river, noted camping
ground for travellers. Last Monday
Mr., Capps, industrial teacher at Fort
Hall Indian school, when coming to
town, noticed there an empty buggy
with harness thrown over the dash
board, a bundle of bedding and camp
equipage close by but no signs of the
owner. Thursday he returned and
the outfit was just as he saw it Mon
day when coming and returning. He
informed us of these facts and we re-
ported them to Mr.. Hayes, deputy
sheriff, who repaired to the scene and
found things just as Mr.. Capps re-
ported them. In the buggy Mr..
Hayes found two pipes and an old
vest in the pocket of which was let

ANOTHER IDAHO RArLRoAD.-The
amount necessary to complete the new
Manitoba railroad having been raised,
the work is to be finished without delay.
Several American roads are Fastening to
connect with t.-[Denver News.
Ifthis is the Manitoba that goes through
Helena and Butte, we may expect to see
it in Idaho soon. 1t is headed in south
westerly direction, and the people north
of US have great hopes that it will cross
Idaho in the Salmon river country. 1t is
far more probable that it will find the
best route to be by way Of the upper
Salmon river and Wood River.
The Salmon river country is so noun
famous that there is not a wagon road
through it below Salmon city for long
distance. Absolutely the only wagon
road from Salmon river to southern or
southwestern Idaho (the country through
which the Manitoba wishes to pass Is the
one which comes down Snake river,
This route from Butte would be COM
pa, atively es sy. Tue pass over the main
divide south of Butte is very gentle and
the ute Is good up the Big Hole river.
The Big Hole pass, which leads into
Gibbonsville, is far preferable to the one
proposed further north In the Bitter Root
mountains. The only portion that the
railroad would traverse where there Is
not already wagon road, is less than
half of the IS miles between Salmon City
and Challis. Here there Is only pack
trail along the river, but there would moi
be any great difficulty in putting road
through From there the ascent would
be easy and short tunnel at the top of
the divide would bring it to an easy de
scent down Wood River and then out ov
er the plains or by way of Smoky. Thi
route would be unparalleled in the min
eral wealth of the country it would pas
through, and is preferable IN every way

Der sufficient to cover the foot bridge
across Elk Creek to the jail and for
the convenience of the travelling
public, if the citizens of Idaho City
would remodel the bridge and put it

tlon being circulated for the requisite
funds' Every man in town ought to
subscribe literally as it is favorite

walks across it should own at least
ohe plank, or wade the creek some
oolo morning as reminder of not
helping.

HORSE SHOE BEND, Idaho.
Nov. Is, 1887.

NOV. lo, 1901.
Ed. WoRLD: We have Just re.
turned from an extended trip up
through the beautiful little Garden
Valley, and finding the IDAHO WORLD
in almost every home, we concluded
that the people believed in patron
izing home papers, and this is as it
should be. If every one will help
financially or otherwise the editor of
his home paper, then if they do not
get good paper, it is the editor s
fault, but when man never writes a
word for his paper, and is years in
arrears he need not complain, in fact,
he is getting the best of it with any
paper at all. We found the harvest
had been all : thrifty people could
ask for, and the farmers busy hauling
the product of their summers toll to
market in hay and grain. The wealth
er beautiful; no sign Of snow, and the
people preparing to set out orchards,
in fact, we helped to take to them
over five hundred dollars worth of
trees. This is step in the right di-
rection. There is no better pros
poets for fruit country than this our
beautiful Idaho, her fruit the choicest,
her markets the best. We found
hospitable people, and they have no
reason to complain of their lot. And
let me tell you, Mr.. Editor, there are
more pretty girls to the acre in Gar
den Valley, than in any place we
know of.
OF Horse Shoe Bend we have
to complain OF, and that is
about all. No news, as the people
are staid and steady and averse to
news. Our school, under the
instruction of Mrs. I. E. Mahan, is
progressing finely, and we hear, sat
Our road to Boise, sort Of cut
off, is now ready to travel and will
be an advantage to the people around
and about us.
We visited the sawmiIl OF Mr..
Walker upon Dry Buck, a short
time ago and saw the finest lot of
lumber that we have seen for some
time. Mr.. w. informed US that he
had cut 100000 feet Of lumber the
past summer, and was behind orders
vet We noticed teams from Boise
Valley and Upper Squaw Creek
heavily loaded and others waiting for
Walker to say ''next."
AS we write it is commencing to
rain. 1t is the first real good indica-
ton of rain we have had and if it
keeps on raining, l think the ground
get wet enough to plow, that is if it
keeps on long enough.
There has been practilly no grain
put in, the ranges are bare, and the
prospects are that stock in Idaho will
suffer if the winter should be hard.

ly. When fully dry, paint it on the
outer side with the same oil contain
ing enough ochre or lampblack to
deaden the light color of the muslin,
but not sufficient to make a body,
as this would allow it to crack when
dry. A sheet of this kind if proper

will last for years. Also see that
holes are not punched in it. 1t is
best not to use the heaviest muslin

does not crack so much when dry. It
